I wonder how many times that "vice block" slipped out of the vise... Beefcake with the cheater bar is quite slick, but his form is all wrong. He needs to twist that arm a bit so his sweet tat can be more easily seen, and thus, appreciated.
No more loctite on anything from BCA... I guess it will be easier to tell what is loose.
When I saw this thread bumped I was hoping the BCA video was posted, I guess screen shots are good enough. I have seen more expensive brands assembled in a similar manner, so it is not just BCA that is guilty of this.
The Smith M&P’s are extremely popular. And they are decent firearms. I don’t know what type of accuracy you will get with those. When I build a hunting rifle, I generally try to use either a match barrel or something that guarantees sub moa at 100 yards. There are some affordable barrels out there do that. I think for roughly a hundred or so dollars more I can build you an AR that will be probably a little more accurate than a smith and significantly better. And by better I mean an MLok free floating hand-guard( which Is a big upgrade), an oversized charging handle, and probably squeeze in a decent drop in trigger with a 3.5# break. And all of that can be done for about $900.
I can ring steel plates at 100yds open sights all day long with my M&P sport. That’s all I really ask of it.
If that's all you expect of it, rock on.
A few more gems for everyone to enjoy:
Dafuq am I looking at!!! Name and shame!
Oh, and I do have an M&P, not a sport, but I keep it to have a loaner AR. The parts are good, the assembly was mostly OK. I fixed everything but the castle nut staking, my vise is still sitting in a box, I need to mount it to my new work bench and do it right, and find all my tools. AK building has taken over, much more satisfying than an AR build.
Aero Precision and Anderson lowers with defects. The Aero lowers had the buffer retainer hole drilled in the wrong location, which cut through to the trigger pocket. The Anderson lower has an out of spec magwell, which is on par for Anderson.
A few more gems for everyone to enjoy:
I saw the defects, I just wanted names. When Aero first started selling to the public under their own brand name they were pretty good. The longer they have been on the market the crappier their products have gotten. You can still get good Aero stuff, but you have a chance of getting out of spec crap too. They will fix it.... IF they have the parts to swap out. I won't touch an Anderson. I gave away the freebies I got from them, well not directly from them, they were from a distributor, but still, crap tier is still crap tier when it is free.
Really, how on earth did that lower with messed up mag well make it out of ANY plant.
An AK guy would fix that with a dremel!!!
You are right. PSA, as I understood along time ago, is made to Mil Specs. Am I wrong?
